They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.

They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.

Παρηλθον ως πλοια σπευδοντα· ως αετος πετωμενος επι το θηραμα.

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
